Hello, I am Kenny Hallaert, the poker representative for the Casino’s of Namur & Spa (Belgium)
From 15 till 13 November the casino of Namur will host the Belgium Poker Championships.
This is an open event so also people that don’t have the Belgian nationality can participate in the event.

The event is already held for the 4th year in a row. Last year we were proud to have the biggest tournament ever held in Europe based on the numbers of players with a 1k+€ buy-in. The event was sold-out with 800 entrants. Results can be found here: http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=29091
In the meanwhile the EPT of Monte Carlo broke this record with 842 players but for this year we increased our capacity to 1000 players so we will have the record again for sure.

The buy-in this year is 1550€+150€ (~$2050+$200) so the prizepool can go up to 1.500.000€

4 times a week there are satellites to this tournament in our casino. Al those satellites are 55+15€ with unlimited rebuys the first hour + add-onn. Those satellites are held every Tuesday at 20h and every Saturday and Sunday at 14h30. The casino of Spa also host a weekly satellite on Thursday at 20h.

Registration for one of the satellites or the main event is possible in the casino or online: http://reservations.circuspoker.be/inscriptions.php?p=CHP. The site is currently only in French but will be translated within the next weeks. If you have any problems or further questions, you can contact me and I will be happy to assist you. You’ll find my details on the bottom of this post.

The minimum age for this tournament is 21 years.

The main event will take place over 9 days. These are divided as follow:

From now on Unibet, Winamax, T6-Poker, Poker770 and Chilipoker will host online satellites for this tournament

The event will be televised.

During the championship there will be a wide variety of NL- Hold’em and PL Omaha cashgames.
